View Full Version : I may not have scanned all channels?

I have the Jynxbox V2 HD box
Have 110/119 both in good at about 81 and 85 for strength and quality

I am not sure why, but I don't think when I scanned the channels I may not have all that I should.

Eg. I don't get 9420 which is supposed to be an HD on one of these birds (correct me if I'm wrong). It's not even on my program guide.

I am not sure what other channels I should have scanned in, but not really sure how to tackle this. :noidea:

What you might want to try, it is a little long however, is to scan each TP individually. Go into dish settings and choose the satellite you wish to scan, press the blue button and it should bring up the TP list, select the TP to scan, wait a second to make sure the signal levels are there, scan the TP with Network search OFF, move to the next and do the same.

I may give that a try. I was pretty sure I was missing some, not sure how or why though. With 82/85 (S/Q) I should get every channel right?

What is your dish settings? Also if your using DP lnb's did you set the Legacy LNB to OCS-DP?

To get 9420 change your symbol rate to 21500 and DVB to 8psk 2/3 on sat 119 Transponder 12311!

They are legacy lnbs (dual lnb).

They are legacy lnbs (dual lnb).Did you set your lnb as Legacy twin LNB1 or leave as off. You could try different settings.

I know for sure 9420 is not on my epg, and cannot tune it in manually. I don't think any of the HD channels scanned in for whatever reason(s).

Here is a interesting question..... when you look on Lyngsat to see the channels, etc that are each respective sat..... for eg. 110W has HD on TP7, 12, 18, 19, and 22 (all conus - so these are not spot beams rights?). with the TP #, the other number (not sure what it is called or refers to exactly), but this number on lyngsat is different than what is on my jynxbox.

lyngsat has TP7 12311R 21500, my settings on my box show TP7 (7/39) 12297 H 20000

Is this a problem????

I just don't understand how I haven't scanned in any HD channels, even though I have the JB200 installed. Another thing I notice is that all the TP that have HD channels on them.... if I go to that TP in the dish setting menu, the I shows as 85, and Q shows 82 on some, yet 42-43 on others.

TP18 (18/39) for example, comes in at 42 and 42-43 on the I and Q respectively.
TP7 (7/39) shows 85 and 82 - but those channels are not scanned in???? lyngsat shows TP 7 12311 R , my TP 7 is 12297 H 20000

Is there something wrong with my setup?

It's a jynxbox HD v2, using a DISH500 with dual legacy lnbs.
Tuner LNB1(Fixed)
LNB freq 11250
DiSEqC1.0 is Port 1 (for sat 110)
DiSEqC1.1 is disable
Legacy SW is off
Lebacy LNB off
22k on
Polarity auto

I am using an EMP 4 x 1 switch by the way P.164-IW

This is the settings my local shop told me to set things at. I get SD no problem, but have not even scanned the HD I think, as no HD show in my epg.

I tried to change the freq on TP 19 (has HD conus per lyngsat) to the settings that it shows on lyngsat, but when I edited it, it said TP already exists.

It's not a big deal, I can begrudgingly live without the HD, but if I have a HD box, with the HD JB200 tuner installed, and an HD TV, I sure wouldn't mind a few HD channels :)

I don't mean to hijack this thread, but I am having a similar problem. Mine are not just HD, but random channels. For example, it goes from 103 to 109. Noting else is programmed in. Also does this around 140-143. Scanned every TP individually when it was set up.

Why do you have 22Khz on?? You don't mention using a 22Khz switch?

Also, before I started editing TP's, I would factory reset, then make sure you have a good quality lock on each satellite, and scan them one at a time, and make sure irs working before scanning the next. Do not scan until you have a good lock.

Each sat is locked good. 85 on 110 and 82 on 119. As for the 22Khz it is off.

I just don't understand why I didn't get any hd when I scanned the sats.

Check channel 9421 on sat 110. It's an open channel and should come in. If its not there, then make sure the JB200 tuner us properly and firmly seated/connected. Check for HD TP's in dish installation.

Also, I was told by a vendor that 1 in 25 of those tuners are defective. That could be the reason your not getting hd too? Just a guess. But then it did scan in SD?

Fastcompany
06-03-2013, 11:33 AM
In reference to the channel you couldn't scan in 9420. Go into dish settings for sat 119, and then to TP 12311 V 21500, and post your quality reading

TJCams
06-03-2013, 01:54 PM
I will check this out when I get home from work.

I noticed that there are some TP in both 110 and 119 that are good, when I did the install for example, I locked 110 in at 85 (Q), and 119 is 82. However..... any TP that is not in the 80+ on Q, they are 43. So, I am at both ends of the spectrum. But also, according to lyngsat site, some of the TPs that carry HD on these sats, they come in at 85 on Q.

I don't think the JB200 is faulty as I got a bunch of SD scanned in, and this goes through the JB200, so if it were faulty I shouldn't have been able to receive anything right?

after you done with scan all satellites..just scan 12311 .. transponder on 119 again..it will come in for you

that's what i do ...works every time

(if you miss a channel ..find that transponder and scan it)
good luck

Just a simple question here. Did you push the sats button on your remote then highlight and click ok on all sats? Sometime you need to do this as you won't see a specific channel in your guide and you can't type it in with remote either. It will say channel does not exist. Once you do the above you should see them.

In your dish settings for 110, In your TP List, does TP 12399 V 2150 appear? Another Hd TP on 110 is 12457 V 21500 That one? And on 119, 12311 V 21500 ?

If they appear what is the Q, and do they lock on correct sat?

42 is like a default no signal indication on the JB.

Ok. It could be a corrupt database. It could also be a flaky lnb, or a lnb setting.

I think at this point, just to eliminate a data base problem, do a factory default. Install a new bin. Try 239. It is the same as 237, but has wifi capabilities. Once installed, verify the file is the installed firmware version.

Then, set up sat 119 first, then scan after getting a good quality on TP 12297. See if the HD TP's are scanning in. (21500)

If that one works, we will move onto sat 110.

TJCams
06-03-2013, 10:55 PM
lnb is brand new. lnb setting is my suspicion. Why would I get sd no problem, and no HD....

Just did factory default, loading 239 now.

Firmware is at 239

locked in that TP at 82.

OK, most scanned, but a block did not. 2-10 did not, 12 did not, 16-26 all scanned OK. From scrolling thru all the TP on 119, it appears to only have scanned the ones that show as 20000. No 21500.

Well a flaky lnb or incorrect lnb type can cause some TP's to come in, and others not, but you would likely lose some SD too. Can you verify the lnb type. Below you said legacy dual.

I highly doubt it is the switch, but you could try running directly to the lnb bypassing the switch for each sat, and see if it will scan an HD TP? Just trying to think why this is happening.

On each sat, not every TP does scan channels in. Some do not. Normal. Just depends on what ones.

All right..,... I had the exact very same issue. No HD Channels and 43% signal on HD transponders. What I did was the following... Easy... Reseated the JB200 just in case... Still I got the 43% signal on HD Tps. Then, I did an auto scan on 110 then went to manual scan and scanned the 8psk transponders manually. However, I had to wait about two or three minutes for the sat to lock on whichever transponder I was trying to scan.

After that... did it on 119. I am now enjoying my HDTV!
